The above is a link to a long interview and article about Eastwood from 2012.

An excerpt:

Well, twenty years ago, Jack Green went to Canada to do the cinematography for a movie being shot around Vancouver, and an official for a Canadian filmmaking union asked when Clint Eastwood was going to shoot a movie in Canada. “Never,” Green answered, “because he can’t bring his family.”

“How big is his family?” the official asked.

“Fifty or sixty people who go everywhere he goes,” Green said.

When the official understood that Green was referring to Eastwood’s crew, he offered a deal: Anyone who could prove that they’d worked with Eastwood on more than five films could come up to Canada and get around the union’s work rules.

“Well, that was everybody,” Green says, “and that’s how Unforgiven came to be shot in Canada.”

Thanks for the excerpt.

What does that have to do with the pro-abortion Hollywood boycott of Georgia?

Eastwood might have his own production company, but I guarantee he does not have 50-60 permanent employees who get paid when he is not making a movie.
